My name is Lucius Aurelius and I'm the Lead Consul of the Latins. We are refugees who fled from our home, Latium, after a devastating war against the faction of the Huns. Despite the courage of my people, we were defeated and the few remaining survivors escaped away. There were 20 ships, all transports. We wandered for 5 long years for the universe, looking for a new home, when we reached the system called omicron Iota. Here, we were attacked by a strange and unknown faction. Since 'we were totally helpless, we split into groups to increase our possibility of survival and my convoy went in Omicron Delta through a jumphole. Our group was almost completely damaged and the enemy ships were reaching us, when a group of Zoner convoys, seeing us in trouble, hit 'nomads with a massive attack and brought us to safety. In gratitude, we decided to join the Zoner and to respect their rules and covenants. We also decided to start here, in Sirius, the foundations to give a new prosperity to our faction. Our social order was a Republic, and as leader, my job will be to recover the refugees dispersed in the Omicrons for founding the new Republic of Latium.
Goals
Our primaly roule is founding a new Republic of Latium.
To meet this roule, we need to comply seven goals:
1. Find our missing comrades in omicrons.
2. Exploring Sirius to see our new home and establish relationships with factions who live here. We explored Omicrons and Omega systems, so we're heading in the House spaces.
3. Accumulate wealth with commercial traffics.
4. Building outposts to facilitate commercial traffics.
5. Provide consumer goods and capital goods to our people living in Freeports.
6. Because we lost all our technology, we need to access to a new one. We'll try get it with our diplomacy.
7. To secure our people by nomads, destroy their ships in omicrons.
Diplomacy
Because we are new in the political scene, our diplomacy may change. Now we are allied with Zoners, so we will try to be friendly with all their allies, but we also want to create our own diplomacy.
All civilian ships with less than 3600 cargo.
All border worlds ships.
Also prison liners adapted to carry goods or passengers, it depends on their task.
Our goal is to access to a new technology. Maybe that technology will be Zoner.
Ranking structure of the new Republic
The new Republic is led by the triumvirate, formed by three members representing the will of every section assigned to them. The sections are seperated into three departments:
Military, Commerce, Diplomacy and Development
Every member who representing the departmets is choosen by the members of his department with a votation.
The departments was formed by three categories
Latin army, which fight for our safety. Senate, which work as diplomats for the development of the faction. Sabellic corporation, which commerce and export/import products.
Latin army
Auxiliary, Military rank trial Legionary, Secondary Latin soldier Centurion, First Latin soldier Pilus Prior, Secondary Officer Praefectus, First officer Legatus, Leader of the Latin army and Triumvirate's member
The senate
Scribe, Senate rank trial Scholar, Initiated member of the senate Censor, Senate member Aedile, Magistrate of the bases Quaestor, Second Leader of the Senate Consul, Leader of the Senate and and Triumvirate's member
Sabellic corporation
Miricatud, Merchant Mamertine, (son of Mars) backbone of the Mamertine army but locked until the Sabellic corporation will not depend on the military protection of the Latins. Besides being the Military force, he will also escort the merchants. Meddiss Degestasios, Second Quaestor Meddiss Aticus, First Quaestor Meddiss Toutiks, Director of the bases Embratur, Leader of the Sabellic Corporation and Triumvirate's member
Special ranks of the Latin structure
Praetorian, soldiers with special authority and skills deployed as a personal guard or special task force for legion activities.
Seniority Equivalent: Centurion
Prerequisite Rank or Status: Legionary
Primus Pilus, the most senior of all the Pilus Prior. Commands the army if there is no Tribune, Preafectus or Legatus present. The peak rank for anyone not looking to enter high command and an extremely well-respected station.
Seniority Equivalent: Pilus Prior
Prerequisite Rank or Status: Pilus Prior
Tribune, a rank in both the political and military structure, giving authority to both. Generally young officers appointed by the Senate to serve as officers in the army. The senior tribune of any army is technically the 2nd in command after the Legatus. In battle however the Praefectus would normally command due to greater military experience.
Seniority Equivalen: Praefectus
Prerequisite Rank or Status: Senate Appointment
Equites, wealthy and of high standing, the equites not only trade and administer their fortunes, but also serve a military role utilizing heavy transports and liners to serve as military suppliers, battle escorts and when needed a specialty strike force.
Seniority Equivalent: Pilus Prior
Prerequisite Rank or Status: Legionary or Mercator
Structure rank of the leaders
The triumvirate is formed by the Legate, Consul and Embratur.
Legate have great military power and small diplomatic power respect the Consul = Military/diplomacy. Consules have great diplomatic power and small military power respect the Legate = Diplomacy/military. Embratur have great commercial power and small diplomatic power respect the Consul = Commerce/diplomacy. Legate and Embratur have an equal diplomatic power = Legate (diplomacy) = Magister (diplomacy)
Every member of the triumvirate represents the will of his department.
Above the triumvirate is placed the leader of the whole faction:
Lead Consul, Faction Leader
Prerequisite Rank or Status: Elected
The triumvirate also has the task to oppose Lead Consul's decisions because as Republic the choices must be shared by all. In case of dispute, the consul of the Senate should act as a guide for all other latin members against the Lead Consul.
Here you can find the Recruitment Center
Everyone is accepted in the faction. Because our goal is to find the lost refugees in omicron, the new member will assume the role of a Latin that was found. Then he'll collaborate with other members to reconstruct the history of the Latins through his biography.
Everyone is free to ask in this thread any question about the faction. Also comments will be appreciated.
The 81st syndicate is already using latin-ish names. And in my opinion it fits an outcast faction better than a zoner one.
Also as Barb mentioned earlier, your story of getting into Sirius (Sol->somewhere else for 800 yrs->Sirius recently) is kind of how the Colonial Republic got here as well.

I believe a faction with a Roman-style can use Latin names, and that members will be free to use them or not. But if we can not use them cause they are already used, then I will ask permission to those who are already using them.
I chose a story on war refugees' cause there isn't a ''Roman-Italian technology'' in game and I think this story is the best way to make an Italian faction because it makes it credible. If it's too similar to Colonial Repubblic story and it is a problem, I'll try to change the story.
